GOTCHA DAY!!

the Directors from Zhangjiagang CWI

Our newest addition, Benjamin John. We arrived at the adoption center at 9:30, along with seven other families. The noise level was pretty high, clearly heard on the video. One little girl was very upset, so we got the oppotunity to share our "shut up cookies" a gift from Susan. Called Shut up ccokies becasue you give the crying child the cookies and they shut up!

Here we are 9:30 waiting for our babies to come from the orphanage.

My tired husband looking for our bags, Tired and cranky are kind words.

Susan our guide was late to meet us, which meant it was necessary to locate our bags and find Terminal 2 for our next flight ALL on our own. Terminal 2 a totally separate building a shuttle 5 minute shuttle bus ride away.

Welcome to Beijing!!

Today was THE day:o) We got early, 2:30 am actually. After 26 grueling hours in the airports, and on the planes we were thrilled to be in our room. Yes, it is stifling hot in this room, but we opened the window and cooled things right off. When the plane landed in Beijing, the people on the plane clapped and cheered-that flight was so cold all of us were all grateful of the opportunity to deplane.
